The largest of the seven Canary Islands, Tenerife is a stunning island with much to explore. Known for its beautiful beaches, dramatic volcanic landscapes, and year-round warm weather.

The island is a melting pot of Spanish, Guanche (the indigenous people), and African influences, creating a unique blend of music, dance, and cuisine. Tenerife is famous for its vibrant festivals, especially el Carnaval de Santa Cruz de Tenerife, which is one of the largest and most colorful in the world, showcasing the island’s lively spirit.

The architecture reflects its colonial history, with charming towns featuring cobblestone streets and historic churches. Local cuisine is a highlight, with fresh seafood, traditional “mojo” sauces, and “papas arrugadas” (wrinkled potatoes) being must-tries. The island’s warm hospitality and rich cultural tapestry make Tenerife not just a beautiful wedding destination, but also a place to immerse in authentic Canarian life. The Canary Islands also happen to be the origin place of one half of the bride’s family (prior to them migrating to Cuba), and within recent years some of her immediate family members have moved back to the capital of the large island – Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
